Simply Sugarless: Mango Raspberry {+ Carrot!} Popsicles

Welcome to Simply Sugarless, our monthly sugar-free recipe column written by Starr Struck's own Sara Meeks. Once per month, Sara picks a "regular" recipe and adapts it into a sugar-free version of that same recipe using only natural sweeteners (fruit, sweet veggies, etc.). A perfect option for those trying to eat less added sugar on a daily basis...

What’s better to beat the heat than a tasty, frozen, healthy snack? Popsicles, like most other sweet treats, are usually packed full of sugar and corn syrup. But they don’t have to be!

Instead, these popsicles are full of mango + raspberry deliciousness with some carrot added in for some extra nutrients and smoothness. They're refreshing, sweet, and won’t disappoint.

Enjoy!

MANGO RASPBERRY POPSICLES
Cooking time: 15 minutes prepping, 3 hours (or so) freezing 
Yield: 6 popsicles (depending on size of mold)

Ingredients:

• About a cup of carrots
• 1 mango
• 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen), I used black raspberries

Directions:

• Steam carrots until soft
• Add carrots, mango, and raspberries to blender. Blend until mixed thoroughly. Add water, if needed
• Pour into popsicle molds (if you don’t have one, use plastic cups or ice cube trays and cover with saran wrap to poke a popsicle stick in each center)
• Freeze until solid, at least a few hours

Thanks for sharing, Sara! I love the addition of carrots to the popsicles; nice to throw in a veggie every once in a while ;) And I actually do have popsicle molds and love making them, so will have to give this recipe a try!
